grill " pins " for RTA 12's

soundfreak1

Can I get the black plastic "pins" that hold the hats in place on top of 12b' s from polk or does anyone have any to sell? Need at least 4 or 6 just incase. Thanks.

This part is called a "tree-lok". There are various places on the Internet such as Parts Express that sell different sizes that may or may not fit your speakers. I got replacement tree-loks for my Monitor 5jr's directly from Polk recently, so you may want to call or write them first since they can provide the exact size you need if they still have any in stock.

Tree lok you say. Intresting name. I don't feel stupid for not figuring that out. LOL thanks I call them Monday.

Update us if you find'em; I need a couple for my 12C's as well.

Good luck!

Will do. I see I'm not the only insomniac.

Falconcry I also see we have similar taste in equip. Parasound gfs 1200 ( refine, caps and output relays) and the 12b's as well. Good sounding amps. Been looking for a good deal on some sda's.

That's a hca 1200. Danny new toutch screen phone. Can't type worth a @#&#@.

Polk has them

soundfreak1

Thanks.

I got some from Polk at one point, and if memory serves they charged me $0

soundfreak1

Thats a real goof price. I'll take that deal.

As always, be sure to mention you are a Club Polk member for discounts and discounted shipping

Here is the **** polk doesn't have them. Madisound is out of stock (.25 cents each. And partsexpress sell them 12 for 3.71 +4.71 shipping.

Polk Audio does NOT carry treelocks or guide pins. The ones sold by Madisound and Parts Express are not a perfect fit and require some modification depending on how and where they are used on the grill and/or speaker. If they're a corner mounted guide, you should install them as directed but if they are simply side guides or non-load bearing, just drop in and move on.


This has been stated many times, in multiple threads.

soundfreak1

There are a load of threads on all your ? Here but basicly there are xovers in the cabs, I have seen two drivers in them ( mx 6600--mx6501 and I have a manual showing mx7501 ) polks replacements are mx6503) now that you equally confused welcome to the club. I quote guppy1 loosly here " depending on the year, month and what was on the shelf any of these drivers can be in the 12's two crossovers with. Fuses and no fuses. I have both. Three diff. Tweeters sl1000, sl2000, and pearless". Replacement for tweeters is the rdo 194's how'd I do guppy? And on the pegs polk is out but partaexpress has them. Whew!!!

soundfreak1

Oh crap please move the above replay on the 12b/c's to " jumpping in again" hit wrong thread LOL

dorokusai

How about you retype it.

I found exact fits for my RTA 12's on parts express - I used the heavy 260-367

That is incorrect - I just recently purchased replacement treeloks from Polk Audio, for my Monitor 5jr's. Do you need to see the receipt?

Cheers

soundfreak1

Ok dorokusai you delete and I' ll retype fair enough?

soundfreak1

Don't know about your speakers but we were talking about rta 12 and polk told me today they are out of them.

soundfreak1

Yes to wgdb those were the ones I saw today 3.71 for a dozen plus 4.71 shipping. I'll be ordering some.

geppy1

I got them from polk last winter so maybe they are out now

Here's the deal. We kept finding small batches of them as the warehouse gets cleared out and sometimes we'll have them but most of the time we do not.

We currently have zero(0), with no plans to restock nor find anymore. I bought the last 38 to ensure that fact since I need them for old Polk speakers I find for resale.

The only place you can get them from now on is Parts Express and Madisound. Good luck....oh, Cheers.

Crashdot

Haha! So the real reason Polk is out of stock is because you're hoarding all the good ones Good thing I got my collection of 22 Polks patched up in time.

Thanks for clarifying and Cheers to you.

soundfreak1

Ordered them today! I will let u k.ow how they fit.

Does the "we" mean you work for Polk?
